Jimmy Myers has a tough fight on his hands.

When you come up behind two sisters who are rock stars, it’s easy to get ignored from time to time.

And yet, the easy-going Myers, who celebrates a birthday today, is doing OK for himself.

Even with huge footsteps left behind by the twin terrors, Taylor Herreman and Julia Myers, Jimmy is making his own mark in multiple sports.

The most noticeable of those lately has been tennis, where he showed real spark last year as a sophomore.

Toss in his time on the baseball diamond and his ability to rock a natty ensemble while helping to lead the student cheering section at volleyball matches, and he’s a well-rounded Wolf athlete.

Who also happens to be a strong student and a huge fan of sitting up in trees reflecting on life (or at least that’s what his Facebook profile pics seem to indicate).

As he celebrates his birthday today, young Mr. Myers is, like his sisters, a bright, shining light.

The last name brings a level of recognition, of responsibility with it, and Jimmy is more than living up to those who went down the path ahead of him.

I have no doubt your sisters are very proud of you, and, if you get the stamp of approval from Taylor and Julia, you’re solid.

Happy birthday, Jimmy.

May this one, and all the ones to come, be excellent.

Letting her support crew (Wynter Thorne, top, McKenzie Bailey, left, and Kacie Kiel, middle) join her photo op. Judy’s nice like that.

The face transplant went beautifully.

tape up

   “I tape ’em up, cause you never know when I’m gonna have to go all Mike Tyson on a fool. Silly girls, trying to take my rebounds…”

defense

   “You can give me the ball or I can just take it from you. In one of those scenarios you don’t spend the next five minutes crying…”

uh

Classic Judy.

Taylor Herreman (left) and her lil’ sis bond.

Taylor Herreman is beloved at Christopher’s on Whidbey.

When she’s not busy studying at Gonzaga or traveling around the world, spreading wonder and merriment, the Coupeville High School grad camps out at the local restaurant.

When she does, she is a favorite of her co-workers, upper management and customers alike.

So, as we approach Christmas, it would be ideal for those of us who work with her when she’s in town to send her something in appreciation for occasionally sprinkling her awesomeness on the joint.

But what to give?

You could come up with a million things or more and they’d probably all be fine, but there is one thing that I, in my dual role of Christopher’s wage slave and Coupeville Sports kingpin, can best deliver.

So, here it is, a smorgasbord of snappy, never-before-seen photos of Taylor’s favorite lil’ sis, Julia “Elbows” Myers, aka Judy.

Being off to college, Taylor can’t be there for her sister’s basketball games — epic throw-downs where Julia channels her inner Dennis Rodman (ferocious defensive beast) on the court and her outer McKayla Bailey (irrepressible camera magnet) off the court.

Now, thanks to these photos, she can see what she’s missing.

Merry Christmas, Taylor, from everyone at Christopher’s.

For all you do, this Elbow (of Julia’s) is for you!
